I have been told (many times) that I really need to write a book about my life. The past 50+ years have been an exciting ride, and these days I find myself with a great many passions. However, I feel that this website is a much more personal way with which to share my musings, stories and commentary.

Well since I comment on most of your blogs because I truly love them so much, they bring me such joy and many smiles and laughter through your antics between the two of you, here is your comment to win Amazon $, but would really love a puppy like Phoenix instead!! LOL J/K Wade would kill me if I got a puppy!! 🙂 xox <3

Puppy Phoenix was just adorable! Belated Happy Blogoversary to you and Phoenix again. So kind of you and a great way to celebrate and share with your readers. Keep up the wonderful work, Mike and Phoenix.

You want a comment, so I’m sitting here looking at this big, blank space wondering what to comment on so I can make a comment and I can’t seem to think of anything unique to comment on. I was going to comment on your pictures, but people have done that. I was going to comment on your anniversary and congratulate you, but people have done that as well. So I am at a quandry on what to leave as a comment. ” To comment or not to comment, that is the question, to suffer the slings and arrows of an outragious comment or to take arms against them and fingers on the keyboard to comment thusly” to paraphrase Willie Shakesphere, but what kind of comment to leave? You’ve asked for a comment, so I feel obligated to make a comment, but not just any comment, and on what subject to comment on when you’re staring at a big empty space waiting for a comment to come to you. Oh…….I’ve thought of something to comment on in so this space isn’t empty, but I don’t seem to have anymore room to type, so I’ll have to get back to you on that………..Pete.

OMG Mike, Phoenix’ baby picture is utterly precious!! How cute can one puppy be. No wonder your dream was to have a golden retriever. That’s about the prettiest pup we’ve ever seen!! Oh no, we can see Phoenix’ head getting bigger! By the way, luv the picture of him holding your hat for ransom. Did you ever get it back or is it going in the prize-pot? We will make sure to give some shout outs on all our networking sites about the contest & lastly, here’s 2 big hugs & kisses comin’ from your fav.- Irish lady friends~ outta the Smoky Mountains. Ready….xoxoxox mwa~ HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😉

Mike, congrats on your anniversary. Obviously from the comments above you have got a lot of fans out there and from this one, you know that I am one of them. Keep up the good work and pat that furry one on the head for his contributions!

First off, Congrats on your Anniversary! I came here by way of the wonderful bloggers InionNMathair. Of course, who could resist a prize pack like what your giving away? Too generous! I have loads of books on my Amazon wish list that I would go crazy buying if I won 😉

Although your contest brought me over, now that I’m here, I look forward to checking out your blog and taking a look around! 🙂

Happy Bloggy Birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If I win…can I have the dog instead??? Ha! Sweet doggie….reminds me of my childhood dog Buster. Thanks so much and wishes for many happy blogging years to come! Have a great weekend folks!

Me and Mocha, the Puggle, send our congratulations to you and Phoenix on your one year anniversary. $100 would help us pay our property tax and keep a roof over our head. We have our fingers and paws crossed. Love to you, both.

Congratulations on your anniversary! Found this blog on ‘One Day at a Time’. I find most of the people that I read/follow through links on other sites. My sister and her daughter both have goldens. I’ll pass your blog along to them.

Haha Phoenix is so adorable trying to give away your hat and his puppy photo is so cute 🙂 Congratulations with your one year blog anniversary ! This is a very generous way of celebrating especially since you already did one for your 200th post anniversary. WoW that hits me now 200 posts in less than a year … I definitely need to start posting more. I love your blog and will for sure keep following for years to come. I have been thinking about doing a give aways as well on my blog but I’m not sure yet when or how. Have a great week my friends.

Great one year anniversary celebration!! Doesn’t time fly by quickly when you are having fun 🙂
Love that you and Phoenix are celebrating together, he sure has grown fast! And he is still so cute. Off to read more of your latest blog posts, trying to catch up on all that I have missed {love reading your blog}

Holy cuteness with that puppy photo Mike. And what a generous offer to make – especially because they are $US and our Canadian dollars are sinking like a ship!! I think you’re going to be around for a very long time with this blog. A huge congratulations.

Congratulations on the anniversary of your blog! I hope you manage to hold onto your hat! I think there are many of us who would like to win a puppy like Phoenix, naughty and grown up as he is! However, a voucher for some books would rank a very fine second. Great initiative.

Mike and Phoenix, I am very excited for you guys and your one year anniversary. I have enjoyed the last year of reading all of the posts and stories. The success you have seen this year is a sure sign that you have a great following and should be very proud! I look forward to much more 🙂
